You could just concentrate on the clothing, as clothes are the prompt. The leather jacket and a (straw)cowboy hat should suggest a few different things. Of course, dodgy alcohol/cocktails would work for quite a few of your fandoms as well.
The leather jacket would be easy, but I'm having an actual physical aversion to that darn straw hat. It's clearly linked to a deeply buried childhood trauma. Or something.
Dodgy drinks are, however, a definite possibility.
Well no, but I'm capable of putting fannish self-interest to one side for the sake of a mate ♥ and even given how little of SPN I've actually seen the bloke in that picture *really* does look like he belongs in that 'verse.
You know, that's a great idea, and I don't even read SPN other than a drabble or two about Cas. Hmmmm.... It could work. I admit, I could see him dressed like this for some odd reason. He's trying it out since he's been watching Larry the Cable guy or some other creepy thing! LOL!
I more see Cas running into a bloke wearing this than actually wearing it himself. (He's only going to be wearing the awesome trench coat on my watch. That or, you know, nothing. *g*)
No argument from me unfortunately. Especially as I'm the person who got inexplicably peer-pressured (for that read, 'exposed in tantalising manner to about 300000000 gorgeous pictures of Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles on Tumblr and Twitter') into ordering the first series on DVD. It's on the way now. You can blame thank kimboosan and candesgirl. *sigh*
I'm not a fan of the show, I gave up about half way in to the first season, which is why it's funny that I suggested this to Zed. Also, I don't think Misha Collins' character turns up until you're several seasons in... that's the impression I get at least from the reaction of a lot of Sam/Dean fans to there suddenly being a surge in Dean/Cas.
Yeah, Misha pops up in series 4 I think, but you can't just start watching from there, so I thought I'd give it a go from the beginning. I don't know if I'll like it, and hells bells - that's some catching up to do, but I thought I'd have a looksee what all the fuss was about. Curious fangirl is curious. *g*
Most of the people I know love it so there's a very good chance that you will too. You're way ahead of me anyway in that I'm sure the fact that I don't fancy any of them doesn't help either. :D
... Also, this is apparently your opportunity to add another... cushion to your seat in the handbasket.
I do massively fancy Misha Collins, so I'm right there with that one. I guess I'm just a bit terrified of the fandom - it seems so huge and apparently batshit insane. But I've been assured that you don't have to get involved in the fandom totally to appreciate the show and enjoy the squee, so we'll see...
Both Callisto and An write SPN fic and I'm sure would have some good input for you on calmer corners of the fandom. I think Callisto also does recs. They both write Sam/Dean and J2 though... unless that turns out to be your thing after watching.
Mikey still runs a small SPN site I think and writes Dean/Cas.
In other words I think there are lovely people about who could point you to the nice playground with the great monkey bars if you get hooked. :D
I held out against the SPN tide for two years, then decided to give the season 2 finale a shot, just to see if it was any good. And was sucked right into the darn show. (I accidentally sucked the Sweetie right along with me when he happened to be in the living room when I was watching a re-run of another season 2 ep. What?! It wasn't my fault. I warned him what I was doing!)
Much as I love the show, I've avoided the fandom on the grounds of its sheer immensity and possible craziness. Plus the incest/RPS factor. (I've already done both in LotR; I didn't want to go to bump myself to an even lower level of hell.) But Castiel and Misha have got me thinking seriously slashy thoughts about the show. (Cas is a one of those characters who hits me in a perfect spot and makes me lurvvvvv them.)
It's not so bad... you've got a scarf in there, too. But you don't have to write exactly to the picture or even the actual clothing items if you don't want to, do you?. And even ignoring the man (and the hat!) you've got um... blue, leather, moustache and sucking all going on. Sounds like a plan to me :D Good luck!
I'm thinking Supernatural. The leather jacket reminds me of Dean, so maybe he's in a bar in Tijuana, trying to keep a low profile - hence the stupid hat - and he gets this ridiculous drink, which he thinks is partly antifreeze ... *G*
For some reason I'm fixating on the apple in the drink. It is an apple, right? Something about forbidden fruit? Nah. Maybe not. Ignore me...I'll just go back to my jug of blue cocktail. *g*
Oh damn that is a pain of a picture. The only thing I can think of is not putting any of your fav characters in the outfit but have them mocking someone wearing it but that is just not very helpful, sorry about that.

You can't just think of it as a cowboy hat? It is a cowboy hat... or you could think straw boater instead.

Also, much as it breaks my Bodie & Doyle loving heart to even suggest this, wouldn't the character in that picture work really well in a Cas story?
